Another fun email headsup. Boston band claims to be "all Asian," although chanteuse Olivia West admits guitarist Huxley is a half-Russian Caucasian who lived in Singapore. But who cares, the music drives cleverly and reminds us of no grandmother we've ever known.

We should have posted "Stars Fall" long ago, our all-time favorite by Ceremony. (It's actually the top-ranked track at our Last.fm page.) If you like it on the vid, click the link below for the free download, courtesy of Last.fm. Approximate lyrics here.

We have a new musicfriend!!! We found Thorsten Sideb0ard because he liked someTHING at Bandcamp we also liked and voila! Not only does he have fabulous hair but he also has fabulous taste in music. Here are a few THINGS we found by clicking around his Bandcamp collection.

Approximately 31 years ago we got turned way on by Austin/Chicago bandTiger Waves. We've just been notified they've dropped a superb 12-song Lost Album and made it available for free download at SoundCloud. The following are our very favorites, although we love and could have pretty much posted every song.

As previously noted, you can download beaucoup TW songs freely and legally at SoundCloud, but we can't resist posting two of our all-time faves from their catalogue. Feel free to check out the rest if you're so reclined.

And in case it's slipped (or never entered) your memory, we relink you back to our three-year-old post***on another incatnation of TW, yclept "Southern Boutique." More excellent free and legals await you there. To whet your appetite, here's one SB song we posted that's also on the new/old TW LP. Confusing?

Scamperhouse by Andy Ketch
Chicago popper liked by Ms. Ketch and us. #1's the one we actually wanted to lead off with, but Bandcamp sometimes insists otherwise. Oh, heh, when you click play, it leads off with #1. Heh.

Our Playmoss Currents 3 Playlist

Powerpop Playlist: Dec. 2016==>

Here's a little playlist of pretty pure powerpop songs we've been compiling since December 2016. We'll keep adding to it as we keep finding new delights. We've got a lot more playlists of powerpop, jangle, psych, etc., over at Playmoss.

Our Purpose

We comb the webs for downloadables we very much like or love and hope you will, too. Sure, we sometimes rave about stuff we post, but we want to leave you room to decide for yourself. We’re more interested in posting music than telling you what to think about it. Click info links, Allmusic, Favorite Music Blogs, and other hypers if you want more information.

We very much welcome submissions from artists. We especially want to promote new and up-and-coming-bands.

Generic But Sincere Disclaimer: If you own the music and don't want it posted here, please email us. We hope to benefit artists, owners, and listeners alike.
